__________________Hexen was just a crappy doom clone with level designs that defy all common sense and logic to an infrastructure in a poor effort to do little more than provide a false sense of exploration in what is nothing more than lots of boxed rooms put together from some guy drawing squares on grid paper before creating it in the engine editor..... like most old 3d games did. If you tried to build such in real life, more than half the infrastructure would completely collapse in on itself.

I can only find pulled out laptop drives on ebay. Was hoping to find a legitimate desktop drive for this HTPC of mine. Thanks though.

Pioneer used to make normal 5¼" slot load optical drives over a decade ago. These days you can only find slot load slim drives.

You can actually buy those bay adapters and the drives separately, if it is more price advantageous. There are quite a few on the market, such as this one for $15. I had an aluminum one from Lian Li that cost a bit more. Here are pics of mine. I used a Panasonic slot load DVDRW.

that looks almost perfect Zap, thanks! It looks like the one in your picture isnt the one from the performance-pc site you linked to. Is the bay adapter in your pic a custom unit?
